"I like biscuits, but not the grabey."... gravy

Then, this morning he was rubbing his face and said "I have rocks in my eyes! They're like little baby rocks!" Guess the Sandman left him ROCKS! LOL!

Cute Little Dog

We pulled into a parking spot at Food Lion.

My son looks over at the car parked 2 spots over and exclaims "Look at the cute little dog!"

I look over and say "Where?"

He replies "Never mind. It was just a people's hair!"

I look back over and there are 2 ladies with big, blonde, 80's hair!

Utility Pirates?

On our way to Food Lion this morning, we passed several utility workers using post-hole diggers and a back-hoe to dig up a hole for the new street lights they are installing in our neighborhood.

My son exclaims "Those guys were at my school yesterday!"

I replied, "Oh yeah? What are they doing?"

He responds "Digging for treasure!"

Damn Commercials

"Mommy, I want a magic book - you can get the chicken, and the milk, and the apples."

"Honey, I don't have a magic book."

"They have it at McDonald's!"

No Bones About It!

My son likes to sit on my lap, and he's always bruising me with his bony head, elbows, knees, etc!!

Today, I told him that his bones were hurting me. I even pulled up a picture of a skeleton on the computer to show him that we all have bones inside. His response was "Nu-uh! I don't have bones! Only dinosaurs have bones!"

I replied "Honey, you have bones, the dog has bones, the cat has bones..."

He said "Yes, dogs have bones, kitties have bones, and dinosaurs have bones. That's it! I don't have bones!"

I said "Then how do you walk?"

He replied "With my feet!!"

Translation, Please!

My son is pretty articulate for a four-year-old, but there are some things he still flubs up. Some are common, some I have mentioned before, others are just too darn cute - especially when used in a sentence!

"Can we see the Ephalents?".... Elephants
"Mommy, I need some Jealous for my mohawk!".... (Hair) Gel
"Look at the Ell-eh-clockeler!".... Helicopter
"Ju-Ju's are my favorite snack!".... Fruit Snacks (I think when he was a baby we may have called them Fruit Chews, and he still calls them that)
"My teacher used the Snapper Thingie to put in the Snaps."... Stapler/Staples
"Can you change the channel? I'll get you the Mote".... Remote

"Phew - I'm all Schweatty!".... Sweaty
"I want to push the button in the Alligator!".... Elevator

Smokestack Bacon

On our drive home from a wedding this week, we passed several buildings with smoke stacks. As we drove by one:

"Mom - they're cooking in there."

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yep - they're cooking bacon."

"How do you know that?"

"Well, it's not a fire because the smoke isn't black, it's white. They are cooking bacon and some cheese."

Ever seen a Leel-eh-clockeler?

We were home the day that President Obama was inaugurated and as we watched former President Bush and his wife fly away in a helicopter, I captured my son on video, calling it a leel-eh-clockeler. It's a little dark, so I do apologize, but you can hear him, and that's the cute part!



Over a year-and-a-half later, he still calls a helicopter a "ell-eh-clockeler"! He's a little closer, but just as cute!!

I'm so.... Busy?

Our nightly family show (when it's on) is America's Funniest Videos. I get worried sometimes when my son decides he wants to enact some of the craziness!

It's gotten to where he can predict what is going to happen. The other night a guy was swinging from a tree on a rope and he said "He's going to break the fence." Sure enough, the guy swung out too far and fell off the rope into the fence, even though we had never seen that clip!

But the funniest was tonight when two men were inside a big tractor tire and going to roll down a hill.

"They're going to get busy!" My husband and I both start cracking up!
Then hubby tries to correct him and says "No, they're dizzy!"
Our son responds, rather emphatically, "No, Daddy, they're getting busy!!"

How old is Grandpa?

At the dinner table we discussed that today is Grandpa's birthday.

"How old do you think Grandpa is?"

"I don't know... 4?" (everybody is 4 in his book - even me!)

"No, he's 65!"

My son's eyes get as wide as saucers as he replies "Oh Man!"

It's a Pillow...

Anyone with a child of television-watching age has seen the commercial for the Pillow Pets. "It's a pillow, it's a pet, it's a pillow pet!"

"Mommy I want one of those."

"Those are only for good children." (He's been testing my patience lately).

Without missing a beat he replies "And travel!"

My husband and I both bust out laughing, and just as we do the commercial continues "Great for travel"...

To which my son replies, "See, I told ya!"

Mohawk

"Mommy, can I have my hair like a mohawk?"

"Sure honey."

"Yay! I'll get the jealous!" [what he calls 'gel']

Then later....

"Look, Daddy! My hair is getting bigger!"

Full?

Last weekend we were enjoying some fresh-baked Sugar Cookies. Here is the conversation that occurred:

"Mommy, do you want some more?"

"No thank you. I'm full."

"Of shit?"

You know it's hard NOT to laugh, but it gets better.

Later, he started rubbing his tummy (envision the iCarly episode when her grandfather wants to move her to Yakuma) and exclaims "I am so full of shit!"
